Interesting news from Russia, it's developing new GENERATION of HIGH TECHNOLOGY CARS.

The new 2012 E-Mobil was just launched a few days back.
It's a new HYBRID electric-natural gas vehicle.

It's a new concept car, and information collated indicates an initial 50,000 units order book!
In Russia, only car costing less than US$10,000 has a chance to sell in LARGE QUANTITIES.

That means LADA, probably China made cars, hopefully the Malayan cars will do well.
There appears to be a big market for used large capacity Japanese cars - the almost new cars churn out by the millions in Japan.

.....technology punters! The new RUSSIAN POWER unit. It's a ROTARY GAS engine which uses CAPACITORS to store energy instead of batteries. The Hybrid car is ready for delivery in September 2012 according to RUSSIA TODAY news report.

THE GAS TURBINE engine is also used in the American ABRAMS TANKS. If I am not wrong.
At least the ROTARY CONCEPT. Previously MAZDA tried out the concept, but the WALL STREET market ultimately damaged any chances for the technology to be dominant.

MOSCOW - becoming a HUB AIRPORT between the CHINA-EU air traffic.
There are 3 major airports serving the MOSCOW HUB with current passenger load of almost 60 million/year and more than 0.5 flights a year. The Airports are SHEREMETYEVO, DOMODEDOVO and the smaller VNUKOVO international airports. (Similar in size to the COMBINED KLIA & SINGAPORE passengers number, aircraft flights! WOW!)

This is also similar to the DUBAI airport (in passenger/aircraft flights too) for the NANYANG/AUSTRALIA to LONDON air traffic. The EU is creating the MOMENTUM for China-Moscow AIR CORRIDOR, and Moscow-EU regional flights.

Likely RUSSIAN airlines will serve as "regional connections" to the EUROPEAN UNION. While CHINA airlines will terminate in Moscow airports using CHINA MADE aircrafts.
(At least this is my current analysis and probably trend!)

As China is entering into the phase of CONSUMPTION with per capita income increasing beyond US$5,000!

Currently PAPER CONSUMPTION is approximately 60-70kg, far from market saturation!
We have consumption levels from 50kg per capita from middle income state to up to 250kg per capita in developed states like in USA!

As CHINA and the BRAMPS states continuously develops, we expect these 1,350 million + 200 million (Brazil) + 150 million (Russia) will have more DEMAND FOR PULP. Especially in China, where a lot of the production comes from recyled material used in the "packaging" for it's massive hypermarket, oem industries.

(The very fact that the biggest paper mills in China are actually "Corrugated Carton Box" producers! With the ADVENT OF THE CHINA consumer, demand for better quality PAPER is expected.)

The global paper production currently is approximately 300 million tonnes or 50kg per capita.
USA, Canada, Nordic Europe accounts for almost 75% of the global pulp production. (or some 200 million Tonnes a year!)

However PRODUCTION CAPACITY of such states are STRAINING, due to labour, enviroment groups.
Then, it would be expected RUSSIAN, BRAZIL mills will have to be able to put up THE EXPECTED additional 100 mil tonnes from CHINA ALONE!

HOME or APARTMENT garages will help owners of vehicles to maintain a better working condition compare to the current situation in the RUSSIAN FEDERATION today. (Actually I talked to a TARTAR student in the Malayan federation, from the city of KAZAN recently and got some details about Russia)

This could help SPUR THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY in the Russian Federation.
The Houses, could have an additional section, while the GROUND FLOOR of apartments can be converted into garages!
Lot of upgrading needed in the Russian Federation!
